How does it work
When we approach a charged object to the electroscope, the negative charges are oriented to the top, while the positive ones go towards the bottom of the apparatus. As the charges are the same, the aluminium foils are repelled away from each other, indicating that element is electrostatically charged. In this way, our home electroscope works, now only remains to test it with different objects to verify its operation.
When an electroscope is charged with a known sign, the type of electric charge of an object can be determined by approaching the sphere. If the lamellas are separated it means that the object is loaded with the same type of charge as the electroscope. Otherwise, if they come together, the object and the electroscope have opposing signs. By measuring the distance at which these conductors are separated can calculate the amount of charge of the body.
It is a very good job. Very few mistakes in the translation. I think it is well explained.
